Vantaggi
The BLP program is really an honor to be in. They take awesome care of you and really want to see you succeed. It is a fast-track to higher leadership roles in the company. There is unbelievable exposure to senior management, most assignment leaders are at VP level or higher. We had dinner with the CEO and other senior leaders on the first night. People at all levels of the company are approachable and friendly. There are lots of opportunities for travel and explore different parts of the business. Rotations are every 8 months and you can pretty much go anywhere in the US to explore the different parts of the business. Relocation benefits are generous. Salary and benefits are extremely good, especially for a first job out of college. I haven't heard of any salaries for first jobs which are as generous as Synchrony. It seems like they took the best of the GE leadership programs and even made it better. I see this program getting more and more competitive in upcoming years, but so far it's been great! They really want to see you succeed and the program is well respected throughout the company.
Svantaggi
Since it's a new program there are a few kinks still being worked out- but it's only going to improve in upcoming years. Because the company is so diverse and spread out throughout the country, communication can take extra effort - meetings are usually done over the phone and not in person.
